• Historical Development: Zinc white is a white pigment that emerged in the 19th century alongside technological advancements in the paint industry. It was first proposed as a white pigment in 1782 by Louis-Bernard Guyton de Morveau. Initially suggested as a replacement for toxic lead white, zinc white was accepted as a pigment in 1834.; Zinc white was first proposed as a white pigment in 1782 by Louis-Bernard Guyton de Morveau. Initially suggested as a replacement for toxic lead white, zinc white was accepted as a pigment in 1834. Winsor & Newton introduced a calcine zinc oxide called "Chinese White" in 1834, which became popular as a watercolor pigment. John Ruskin promoted the use of zinc white in his book "The Elements of Drawing" in 1857.
• Chemical Properties and Reaction: Zinc white, also known as zinc oxide (ZnO), is a II-VI semiconductor used as an artist's pigment for about 150 years.; It is a highly reactive pigment, prone to reacting with free carboxylic acids in oil binding media to form zinc soaps.; Commercial formulations may contain zinc stearate as an additive, which can affect the formation of zinc carboxylates.
• Applications: Zinc white was favored by Mondrian for its brightness compared to lead white, although it has lower covering power and can yield a more brittle paint, especially when used in pure form. For example, Zinc white played a significant role in the paintings of Dutch artist Piet Mondrian. Mondrian's use of zinc white is noted to have started around 1917, and he experimented with different types of white paints, including lead white and titanium dioxide white.; Zinc white is a cool, semi-opaque, color-fast white pigment commonly used in oil paints for tinting. It is often labeled as Mixing White or Transparent White and is also added to Titanium White to improve its handling qualities.
• Production Process: Zinc white is made from zinc oxide, which is produced from zinc ores or industrial byproducts. The production involves reducing zinc-containing materials at high temperatures with a carbon-containing agent like anthracite, resulting in the formation of zinc oxide.
